Yukinoshita's Correction Method

After writing this message on the blackboard, Shizuka Hiratsuka left the classroom to the students.

After all, the most important characteristic of the Cultural Festival is that it is student-led.

Typically, the executive committee takes the lead, with each class and club participating in a series of tasks from planning, preparation, execution to follow-up, while teachers mainly serve as advisors and supporters.

During the Cultural Festival, parents, alumni, local residents, and even students from other schools will be invited to visit.

In this process, students will showcase their achievements in classroom learning, club activities, and personal interests, and fully develop their abilities in various aspects.

The content of the activities can be divided into three types according to the leading organization:

Firstly, there are school-wide events led by the executive committee, such as opening and closing ceremonies, school history exhibitions, and school introductions.

Secondly, there are exhibitions and performances led by clubs, such as performances by the Light Music Club, performances by the Kendo Club, and exhibitions by the Art Club.

Thirdly, there are various projects led by the class, such as...

"How about fried noodles? And curry rice too!"

"A haunted house wouldn't be bad..."

"What about making handicrafts?"

Maid Cafe! Butler Cafe! Gender-Swap Cafe!

Takoyaki! Crepes! Maze! Musical! Fashion Show!

At first, everyone was a little reserved, but the atmosphere gradually warmed up, and more and more suggestions were written on the blackboard.

Dong Yunshan, sitting by the window in the back, wasn't interested in joining the discussion. He was scrolling through the revised Food Sanitation Act Law on his phone, recalling the precautions for updating the HACCP plan.

Not only Cloud Snow Tea, but also Cloud Flash Delivery's storage and transportation are included in HACCP and require an updated plan.

Unlike previous periodic reviews, this requires a comprehensive, systematic, and thorough reassessment of the potential hazards introduced or increased by each step, taking into account the new content of the Food Sanitation Act.

There's also a time limit; it's best to get it done within one or two months.

It must be completed to a level that can at least pass inspection.

Having a professional handle it wouldn't be a bad idea.

However, considering that Cloud Flash Delivery is not like Cloud Snow Tea, and Cloud Flash Delivery employees are not exactly easy to deal with, it's best to study it carefully.

The proposal, follow-up arrangements, restaurant collaborations, new contracts, and promotional activity plans...

wrong.

I've been turned into a beast of burden!

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

Dong Yunshan twitched the corner of her mouth, put down her phone, and took a break.

"If there are no new ideas, then let's discuss what we already have." The class monitor moved on to the next step, "Does anyone have any objections to the ideas on the blackboard?"

"Eating is such a hassle, and it makes a mess everywhere."

"Just make some simple exhibits, okay? I don't want to go through all that trouble to prepare."

"This is a rare event, let's all make it big! Like, a super eye-catching booth!"

"Forget about haunted houses. It's too much trouble to prepare, the costumes aren't nice, and you can't really go anywhere else to visit."

"The costumes for the coffee shop are also difficult to find..."

"I also want to participate in the club's booth..."

Amidst the somewhat chaotic discussions, proposals were rejected one by one, leaving only a few still under discussion.

"Everyone, pause for a moment." The class monitor tapped the blackboard. "Debate-style discussions are too inefficient. Next, supporters of each proposal will come up and explain their ideas in detail, and then everyone will vote—who should be the first one?"

The classroom, which had been so lively just moments before, suddenly fell silent.

The class monitor said it was a detailed explanation, but what he really meant was that whoever went on stage would be the corresponding leader.

It's fine to chat, but if we're really going to be responsible for this event... well, let's just forget about it.

Yui Yuigahama looked at the milk tea shop suggestion that has been preserved on the blackboard, and then happily looked towards Dong Yunshan.

Meeting her gaze, Dong Yunshan gently shook her head.

He understood Yui Yuigahama meant, but he didn't have the time.

Yui Yuigahama then turned her gaze to Saki Kawasaki.

Saki Kawasaki returned a resentful gaze.

The immense popularity of Cloud Snow Tea earned her a considerable salary.

Correspondingly, the pressure has also increased.

She desperately wanted to develop more and better flavors, but she also had to take care of her younger siblings and prepare for university... so she had no time to run a stall.

The thought of "Then I'll do it..." had just crossed Yui Yuigahama's mind when she immediately suppressed it.

To be honest, she had absolutely no idea what to do with the bubble tea shop.

If she takes the stage to explain and becomes the leader, then most of the subsequent work will probably still have to be done by Dong Yunshan and Saki Kawasaki.

Yui Yuigahama didn't want to cause them too much trouble because of her whim.

Whispers occasionally broke out in the classroom; no one wanted to take the lead, while some wanted to be in charge but were too shy to stand out.

This is where the small group comes in. First, they decide on a spokesperson, then everyone starts joking around, and finally, a member other than the spokesperson raises their voice and mischievously says, "[XXX wants to say something]."

Then the designated spokesperson declined three times before finally taking the stage hesitantly.

Just like what's happening in a corner of the classroom.

In a small group of four girls, three were teasing and egging on the other, a girl with short hair. The volume of their laughter gradually increased, and they were about to...

"Me! Me! Me!" A hand shot up, accompanied by an excited voice, "I've been preparing for this for so long! Please let me explain!"

"Ah... um." The class monitor was taken aback by the other person's enthusiasm. "Go up to the stage and say it, Hina Ebina."

Seeing the obviously overly excited Hina Ebina step onto the podium, Dong Yunshan immediately had a bad feeling.

Hina Ebina slammed a thick stack of papers on the lectern. "My idea is—a musical of ' The Little Prince '!"

"The Little Prince" is a very well-known work, and it would be quite suitable as a comedy script for high school students.

"The protagonist is a somewhat self-destructive pilot—his self-destructive personality worsens after he crash-lands in the desert during a flight."

With slight modifications, there's no problem.

"The Little Prince was a pure and innocent young man—and because of his purity, he was exceptionally skilled at flirting."

Um?

"The king has a strong sense of pride, is arrogant, and likes to use a commanding tone—I really want to shatter his pride completely."

etc...

"A narcissistic man is always lost in his own world, thinking everyone likes him, but he's actually a shy young man with very low self-esteem—this type of person is the easiest to win over!"

Chapter 387 Executive Committee

The problem seems to be getting bigger and bigger...

"An alcoholic who indulges in alcohol all day long is very likely thinking about men from the past and immersing himself in his current situation—he often says things like, 'Stop drinking, drink me instead.'"

The alcoholic's gender... I think I can guess.

There seem to be more and more elements involved.

"The protagonist's plane malfunctions and crash-lands in the desert. While the plane is being repaired, Little Prince appears. During their conversation, they gradually become attracted to each other. The Little Prince boasts about his glamorous romantic history with numerous men, igniting jealousy in the protagonist's heart. Unfortunately, his feelings are not reciprocated, and the Little Prince is..."

Under the complex gazes of her classmates, Hina Ebina excitedly explained her script in detail, then revealed a hesitant expression. "I feel a little embarrassed..."

Dong Yunshan: "..." Is this only "a little"?

"Well, that's about it." Seeing the class president standing frozen in place as if struck by a heavy blow, Hayama Hayato spoke up, breaking the awkward silence in the classroom, "So... what do you all think? If there are any problems, or suggestions for improvement..."

Dong Yunshan felt that most people weren't thinking about how to improve the script, but rather how to improve the scriptwriters.

"Um..." a girl raised her hand, "Aren't there any girls among the actors?"

"Huh?" Hina Ebina asked, puzzled. "What would you need girls for?"

Dong Yunshan thought for a moment and suddenly realized that there really weren't any female characters in "The Little Prince".

However, this is not a big problem.

The problem is...

Another person raised their hand. "Isn't this a good thing in terms of public order and good morals?"

That's right, that's the key point.

Don't let this prevent our class from participating in the Cultural Festival.

"This is a general audience film suitable for all ages," Hina Ebina said confidently. "I've removed some parts that weren't suitable... In short, there are no problems!"

So this is already the censored version?

Dong Yunshan thought it was an enhanced version.

The students in the class looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Even girls who knew a little about this had a helpless, bitter smile on their faces.

More often than not, they looked troubled.

There's a feeling of wanting to say something, but not knowing how to say it, and feeling that saying anything is useless... an almost desperate sense of powerlessness.

At times like these, a powerful voice stands out particularly.

"I think it's pretty good!" Tobe Kakeru affirmed first, but seeing that the students' reaction wasn't very enthusiastic, he further explained, "Don't you all think it's interesting? Compared to regular dramas, this might be more popular!"

This statement isn't entirely without merit.

Unlike formal dramas, the students are not professional actors. The most important criteria for musicals at Cultural Festival are popularity and originality.

The story of "The Little Prince" is definitely popular.

The adaptation of Hina Ebina is undoubtedly very original.

The students fell into deep thought, and then one by one they began to waver.

If she agrees to this project, Hina Ebina will undoubtedly do her best to complete it.

There's no need to worry about their enthusiasm.

For musicals, the number of people needed for pre-production preparation and live performance is limited.

Those who want to participate can do so, and those who don't can participate in club activities.

There's no exhaustion from running a food stall, and no hassle from haunted houses.

If we disagree with Hina Ebina's plan, we should discuss other plans.

We need a new person in charge.

But... the atmosphere has already been created.

While explaining her thoughts, Hina Ebina broke the silence of the group.

The tactic of using small groups to nominate candidates is no longer feasible.

"Anyway, let's put the premise aside for now," Hayama Hayato concluded. "How about we focus on enhancing the humor in the story?"

No one objected, and the matter was settled.

"Is this really okay?" In the Service Club's activity room, Yui Yuigahama down on the table, her face flattened by the weight.

"The concept is just a concept; the final result depends on the actors' performances." Dong Yunshan was optimistic. "On the bright side, at least we don't have to worry about the enthusiasm of the main person in charge."

"You're getting a little too optimistic." Saki Kawasaki was mixing drinks, looked up. "At least you should be worried about how you're going to perform once you're on stage."

Dong Yunshan's expression froze instantly. "I still have to go on stage?"

"Aren't you going to perform?" Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head, a small question mark appearing above her head. "This kind of performance shouldn't be a problem for you."

"The performance itself isn't the problem, but the problem isn't the performance either." Dong Yunshan's expression was complicated. "I need to think of a way..."

Yui Yuigahama muttered softly, "I have a feeling she won't let you off easily..."

Dong Yunshan felt the same way, but quickly came up with an idea. "I can join the executive committee. If I have other assignments, I naturally can't act."
